Mailbox Monday October 24

It's Monday and we all know what that means! Mailbox Monday! This months hostess is Serena at Savvy Verse and Wit.

I survived Dewey's Read-a-thon! We should have t-shirts that say that! I managed to get three books read before conking out in the wee hours of the morning. Not bad seeing my day normally begins at 5 am. Sunday morning was painful! As soon as the dogs had been put out, fed and got their medicine, I went back to bed until 9 am! I never sleep that late. Last night we had a bad storm come through but I slept right through it all! Guess I was tired!

I only received one book this week. That is okay by me. I have many books to catch up on. I purchased this book with a coupon. I can't pass up a good book or a good coupon!

Alice Love is twenty-nine years old, madly in love with her husband, and pregnant with their first child. So imagine her surprise when, after a fall, she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! she HATES the gym!) and discovers that she's actually thirty-nine, has three children, and is in the midst of an acrimonious divorce.

A knock on the head has misplaced ten years of her life, and Alice isn't sure she likes who she's become. It turns out, though, that forgetting might be the most memorable thing that has ever happened to Alice.

That is what I received last week. What wonderful books made their way into your home?

Congrats on surviving the readathon. The one time I participated as a reader I was wiped out for weeks afterward, so I've been participating in other ways since then (cheerleader or mini challenge host). Makes me long for those college days when I could pull all-nighters without batting an eye.

Well done on getting through three books, you must have been shattered on Sunday.

My day usually starts before 5am and in that first hour, whilst I have my breakfast and a mug of strong black coffee, is when I get most of my reading done.

'What Alice Forgot' sounds like a great read, although I'm not sure whether it is going to be a fun one, or not! I look forward to your review, to see if it is a storyline that is meant to be taken seriously.

About Me

I am a working mom of 3 young adults. I am also mom to 4 cats and 1 dog. I love to read and always have a book close at hand. I like to read many different genres of books. Our life can get pretty crazy but I always find time to escape into a good book. If you could see my pile of TBR books you would agree that I am a true bookaholic!

If you are a publisher or an author and you would like me to review your book feel free to contact me at bthgordon[at]yahoo[dot]com. Along with my blog, I also post reviews on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads and Librarything. I mostly read fiction, christian fiction, historical fiction but do occasionally read some non-fiction.
